Title: Has summer started for you?
Post by: wildfruit on May 07, 2016, 03:55:14 AM
It's a balmy 27C (80F)in London Town today.  I declare it the start of summer.
Anyone else warm?

Nope. Miserable and rainy here in New England.

Yep, we had 80F yesterday here in Chicago. Steam boiler was still running as of last week, will see if I can wind it done soon for summer. Time for a cleaning too, it actually broke 2 weeks ago, woke up freezing in the morning, had to spend $162 on a part.

Summer started a month or more ago here. Really not looking forward to the hottest days of actual summer, since it already got up to 33C a month ago. :/

Cold and rainy in Maryland, with no signs of letting up.  Could use some warmer, dryer days.

I actually opened the windows yesterday and did my spring cleaning. They are open again today with a high of 69F. I think it was a high of 71F yesterday.

Very comfy and now I just need to go buy a new grill.

Cold and wet here in NorCal, but we've already had a lot of nice warm days.  I wouldn't be surprised if this were the last rain of the season.

It's definitely started here in Washington, and it's stayed at a comfy temperature for the most part.

I hate the summer.

Summer = hot and humid and balmy and shitty.

I love cold. Rainy. Gray.

I hope summer doesn't start until July.

Perfwct weather in Buffalo, NY today.  65 and cloudy, played some tennis and basketball and went for a nice walk.  Probably will be snowing next week.

Yeah, it was mid-80s here in Kansas City. Summertime has arrived!
Title: Re: Has summer started for you?
Post by: ParanoiaDragon on May 07, 2016, 05:42:43 PM
Nope, been cool & sprinkly lately in Southern Cali, at least in the Conejo Valley area.  I'm grateful, since I can sweat like a mad man during summer, however, since Thursday when it started the sprinkly really cloudy weather, my head had been really foggy & it's hard to think.  I think it's related to barometric pressure maybe?  Either way, it sucks, been hard to concentrate on anything & is weighing me down emotionally, BLEH!

Forecast says it will be 90 here in Dallas on Tuesday.  That's a high for the year so far I think but either way I'd argue that it's not really Summer until the high is over 100.
Title: Re: Has summer started for you?
Post by: xelement5x on May 08, 2016, 08:17:47 AM
Beautiful weather out here in the high 70s-low 80s all weekend.  Though we did just have a snowstorm a couple weeks ago. :|  I normally don't hold my breath about summer starting until June.

This is true.

So...

Yup.

97?

Unacceptable.

It was too hot today in NJ/NYC area, IMHO, and that was... 77 (but it felt hotter in direct sun).

Title: Re: Has summer started for you?
Post by: Nameless5511 on May 16, 2016, 01:56:37 PM
Still below 90 here in Houston. I'm guessing theres still a bit of time before summer truly begins.

Summer or not, I need a vacation.

Being from south Texas, I must ask:

What is snow?
Title: Re: Has summer started for you?
Post by: seieienbu on June 16, 2016, 08:26:12 AM
Snow is frozen water falling from the sky.  Being from north Texas I've experienced the horrors of underprepared drivers sliding into things because of it.  Yeah, we don't get much, but if someone so much as spills their drink there's too much ice on the road for us southerners to understand what to do.

Either way, Summer started yesterday.  First day my thermometer was over 100.  Head index of like 108 I heard, whatever that means.
Title: Re: Has summer started for you?
Post by: xelement5x on June 16, 2016, 09:20:23 AM
Yeesh, it's not that hot here yet but close.  We were in the 90s yesterday so the AC was finally turned on by my cheap ass.  My pregnant wife and 3 year old were both appreciative.

I'm in North Texas as well and yeah it is getting pretty warm down here.  People in general over here are not great drivers from what I observed when we had rainfall last month.  You would think you would slow down when it's pouring.

If you mean it's hot and I swear every time I walk out the door with smelly ball smell when I peel my undies off at the end of the day then yes. summer has started in Texas.


If you mean that I have summer vacation then noooooooo.

Those days are long since gone.

I'm debating getting some hot pants and a half shirt.

My apologies.

We have been very fortunate in NJ/NYC.

Some really gorgeous weather this Spring (some horribly balmy and humid crap, too, but that is what happens in NJ).

Don't worry ...it will be disgusting soon enough.

My roof in is similar condition, though after 3 months the contractors finally started working on it today.

 :shock: Yikes! Which storm was that? Did you lose any windows? I was 100% sure I was going to have busted windows and skylights from the storm that hit at the beginning of June up here, but by some miracle nothing shattered. I'd hate to have to crawl up on the roof after that and tarp that hole!

Post by: xelement5x on August 25, 2016, 07:16:02 AM
This storm happened near the end of July and caused something like $350 million in damage in the Springs area which is nuts.  It's like the 6th most damaging natural even in Colorado history.  I am lucky that the only window really facing the storm on my house was the skylight.  I lost a bay window as well but that's hard to avoid given the shape.

Boy this is a real oven this year. Temps in the high 20s to low 30s are very rare in middle of September.
